I am very happy to have our latest paper 'Intra- and intersession reproducibility of artificial scotoma pRF mapping results at ultra-high fields' published in #eNeuro @SfNJournals doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO…

We further present CON-pRF, a fully containerized analysis pipeline designed to enhance reproducibility and comparability across studies. Huge thanks to my co-authors Michael Woletz, Pedro M. Paz-Alonso, @cwindfMRI, and @garilerma for their amazing contributions!

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Check out our latest work on retinotopic mapping! We explore biases in pRF mapping and show how upsampling affects pRF coverage in the central visual field. Read more: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… #fMRI #Neuroimaging #pRF #OpenScience

While widely assumed, few studies actually show a direct link between pRFs & spatial tuning in visual cortex. Here we found that adapting to spatial frequency modulates pRF sizes along with SF perception. By Ecem Altan w/ @StevenDakin & Catherin Morgan doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Excited to share our latest study on using high-resolution fMRI to objectively monitor macular function in nAMD patients during and after therapy! doi.org/10.1136/bjo-20… #visionscience #neuroscience #ophthalmology #fMRI #AMDResearch

@sampendu @willjharrison @neuroMDL We’re indeed developing a GPU-powered Python pRF tool that drastically cuts analysis time from several hours to just minutes. Still under development, my college Siddharth Mittal will present it at VSS and OHBM. Hope to connect there!

@willjharrison @neuroMDL We don't use Python I'm afraid. David Linhardt is using on a new tool that is super efficient while also maintaining accuracy (using GPUs) which I believe is based on Python though. It's not yet published though (go to VSS and OHBM to learn more).

Hello fMRI researchers - My lab is looking to update the pRF fitting code we have been using. Looking for #python code for #pRF fitting that is actively maintained - any leads appreciated!

🔬 New study on TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)! We systematically reviewed the effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (TMS & tDCS) on post-TBI symptoms. #AlbertoGalimberti @MartinTik1 @GPellegrino_ 🧠 #TBI doi.org/10.1016/j.pnpb…

Thrilled to work with talented colleagues like @MarVasileiadi, who used navigated TMS to explore how different subregions of the temporal gyrus affect language production 🧲🧠 👉 Peaks for phonological & semantic errors in STG 👉 Peaks for anomia and speech arrest were in MTG

📢 New Paper Alert! 🧠🔬 doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… "Improved brain stimulation targeting by optimizing image acquisition parameters" 🧵

Our results are consistent with those of previous studies conducted on healthy subjects (doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…). Thanks to our team and all collaborators! M. Pawloff, M. Ritter, @cwindfMRI, U. Schmidt-Erfurth, @garilerma

We observed a higher pRF density in foveal areas and reduced pRF sizes with wedge/ring stimulation. However, both stimuli are highly effective in detecting visual field defects. pRF mapping even offers superior scotoma detection compared to microperimetry in some cases.

We investigated the impact of different stimulus patterns on pRF mapping results in patients with retinal disease. Our findings demonstrate strong differences in the distribution of pRF centres between bar and wedge/ring stimulation.

Excited to be at @bcbl_ in beautiful San Sebastián for my @EMBO Short-Term Fellowship, working with @garilerma on new theories in visual neuroscience and pRF mapping.

Many thanks to all co-authors @cwindfMRI, @garilerma, @MartinTik1, @MarVasileiadi, M. Woletz, A. Hummer and cooperation partners from @MedUni_Wien Ophthalmology M. Pawloff, M. Ritter, U. Schmidt-Erfurth

Thus, we have proven that pRF mapping is a highly reproducible brain mapping method that is also very robust to scotoma data. Furthermore, the results provide a foundation for longitudinal pRF mapping studies in patients suffering from partial visual field loss.
